On March 23, Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order calling for Oregonians to stay home, closing specific retail businesses, and requiring social distancing in most cases, immediately and until further notice. Social gatherings with people from outside of your household are not allowed until further notice.

We are bringing back tradition this year and will be bringing the noise! In years past, the homecoming parade was considered a "noise parade". Thanks to the UO Duck Store, we will be handing out noisemakers to parade-goers as well as participants to help bring the noise. We have 10 golf carts reserved for the first student groups who sign up!

Join the Duck Truck, golf cart floats and our amazing UO Band and UO Competitive Dance Team, as we make our way from Kincaid to the EMU Green. The parade will end at the EMU Green and then the real party starts! We'll have activities, food, music, performances and much more. There will be free food samples from Falling Sky and UO Catering with additional food and beverage (including beer, wine and ciders) available for purchase inside the EMU from Falling Sky, Fresh Corner Market, Joe's Burgers, Townshend's Teas, Starbucks, Chipotle, Subway, Jamba Juice, Panda Express, and the Duck Store!

The parade route will begin at 13th Avenue and Kincaid, proceed east on 13th toward the EMU, head south on University Street to Lot 29A and proceed into the EMU Green area for the Feed the Flock Pep Rally. Best places to watch will be at the EMU Green and/or the corner of 13th and University.
